<div class="PageCaption">Labeling Edges, Vertices and Groups</div>

<p>
You can add edge and vertex labels to the graph.  An edge label appears on top of the edge, while a vertex label can appear either inside a <span class="Definition">Label shape</span> that represents the vertex or as an <span class="Definition">annotation</span> next to the vertex.
</p>

<p>
If your graph has <a href="../Groups/Overview.htm">groups</a>, you can label the groups.  Group labels appear in the graph when you choose to <a href="../Groups/ShowingGroups.htm#Layout">lay out the groups in boxes</a>, and when you <a href="../Groups/CollapseExpand.htm">collapse groups</a>.
